Biography

He worked as a dentist in Blackfoot and served in the State House of Representatives from 1984 to 1998, when he was elected to the US House of Representatives. He was a Republican Party member, but he was pragmatic on certain issues, such as supporting the renewal of children's health insurance, and national endowments for the arts and the humanities; he was conservative on every other policy (including abortion rights and same-sex marriage).
